Who never ended up with this problem after upgrade or install a new kernel?

Let’s fix it!

First of all, let’s make sure you have git installed

sudo apt install git -y

Now you can clone the git repo that contains the missing firmware needed

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

Then, you’ve to copy the needed firmware to the correct place

sudo cp ~/Downloads/linux-firmware/amdgpu/* /lib/firmware/amdgpu

End then, you can update the initramfs

sudo update-initramfs -k all -u -v
